We have already talked about it and I have already wrote reasons. UART
clk is shared for both UART1 and UART2. And UART clk regs are in both
address spaces of UART1 and UART2. UART1 or UART2 can be independently
disabled on particular board (as pins are MPP which may be configured to
different function). So you have a board only with UART2, you have to
disable UART1 node, but at the same time you have to access UART clk to
drive UART2. And UART clk bits are in UART1 address space.
